The government has moved to amend the Cyber Security Act to tackle the spread of rumours, misinformation, defamatory content and AI-generated misleading images, videos and audio on social media platforms, Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed has told Parliament.

On Monday, he said provisions will also be introduced to compel international technology platforms, including Meta -- the parent company of Facebook -- to remove harmful content within a fixed timeframe.
